“In school, their training is not only technical, resumes President Michel Bigorgne. We also instill values ​​in them, of which mutual aid is a part. Helping to bring them to life today is a source of great pride for us … “

And an “exemplarity” that the mayor, Richard Strambio did not fail to greet.
